In case you consider containerizing and deploying your app:

By default, App Service assumes your custom container is listening on port 80. If your container listens to a different port, set the WEBSITES_PORT app setting in your App Service app. You can set it via the Cloud Shell. In Bash:

az webapp config appsettings set --resource-group  --name  --settings WEBSITES_PORT=8000

App Service currently allows your container to expose only one port for HTTP requests.
